If you mean what I think you mean about the config part, go to www.whatismyip.com and type that series of numbers into your "Force ip" box.
Make sure you tick the force IP box as well!

Nothing, unless you happen to have a proxy.
ok ty all ill give it ago:D
Forward port 17011 TCP for the ip your router set to your machine (192.168.x.x) then go to www.whatismyip.com and copy the ip you get there in your worms configuration, tick the 'Force IP' box and host up.
Peace.

Without getting in to unnecessary detail that is probably the best description of the process you can get.

However, if you need to find out that sort of thing you probably also need the detail :p

If you want me to write a tutorial, just ask. Fixing hosting problems isn't that hard. It's just that simple, no need of details in my opinion.
you would be doing something similar to www.portforwarding.com ? because you will need to make a guide for every router that uses a different configuration.

In theory, but I've lost count of the numbers of times I've had to explain things step by step to someone who has no idea whatsoever about what they're doing.
But but every router are just the same. If anyone need help forwarding ports just ask, I'll be glad to help.

Oh, ho, unfortunately they're not. They do the same thing (roughly), but they call the features by so many different names. Some call it port forwarding, some call it virtual servers, some it's under NAT settings, there's a whole lovely bunch of differences.
Every routers are all the same for me. But yeah, Linksys routers are the best. :D I've tryed D-links = Bollock.

Best is a dedicated box for your router, but that takes a lot of money and power to run. Handy thing is that you can build a nice hard drive in this, and you can cache downloads (when somebody on your network downloads something, it will get saved onto the router for a while, and he will download at your normal internet speed. If you download the same thing, it will transfer straight from your router so you can download at 100mbit/gbit depending on the speed of your network, and you also save your bandwidth!).
There are different kinds of firmware for routers, mostly open-source stuff that has many more features than the defaults most routers come with. You can do all kinds of cool stuff, from routing hundreds of ports at a time to overclocking your wireless antennas for better reach. On top of all that your router will be more stable, too. Definately worth checking out. :D

Yeah, a friend of mine did this.
He bought one of those small boxes with a motherboard with integrated CPU, GPU & NIC.
Everything has passive cooling without any fans and it's powered by an external 60W power supply. It has space for one IDE HDD, which he used for a 320GB one.
He installed a Linux distribution, µtorrent, Teamspeak and some other stuff and has now a nifty fileserver/download station/TS server. (It hasn't enough performance to run a dedicated CS:S server though. ;))
He accesses everything via a remote desktop program, so he doesn't need to switch monitor or keyboard.
